Las ! mon pauvre cœur
Language: French (Français) 
CHORUS 
Las ! mon pauvre cœur, 
Pourquoi soupirer 
Et t'en amourer 
Avec tant d'ardeur ?  

Bien et vrai que Lise est belle 
Et que dans notre hameau 
Il n'est nul objet si beau 
Qu'il soit autant beau come elle. 
(CHORUS)

Quand sa blanche main me touche, 
Ne sais quoi le fait frémir ; 
Que te feroit donc sentir 
Un baiser pris sur sa bouche ? 
(CHORUS)

Vois comme elle est gente et vive ! 
Le rire est peint dans ses yeux, 
Et tu ne ressens pour eux 
Qu'une tendresse plaintive. 
(CHORUS)
